Dad: (noun) The person who gave put you into this world; the person who can take you out of this world; the person who sold his kidney to put you through college; the person who lives off a steady diet of hamburgers and bbq.

Bring Pops to Station Eats and he’ll receive a FREE Station Burger. Show him some love and treat him to a shake and some fries with that, too. Remember that there’s a huge beer garden at the Stamford location if you want to treat dad to al fresco dining. :) Don’t forget that there’s easy parking. Just pull into the garage at 70 Atlantic Street and they’ll validate your parking ticket (weekdays after 5 pm, btw).

Horsing Around for Charity: BBQ, Music, Wines, Microbrews, and Stuff to Keep the Kids Busy With

Tickets to Horsing Around for Charity are $40 ($45 at the door cash/check), but kids 12 and under are free. There will be lots of food, people to teach dad more about the art of BBQ, music from The Short Bus, wines, microbrews, and lots of things for kids to do. So, give dad a break again. You go off, get your face painted, go shopping, and let him eat some BBQ and drink some brews. Being a dad ain’t easy, ya know? It’s simply exhausting being the father of two cats and an insanely fetch-driven dog. Being a dad of humans just might be a bit harder, I guess.
